An Overview of GLP-1 RAs for CV Risk Reduction in T2DM Patients
GLP-1 RAs have carved an important role in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), not only in glycemic control, but also in reducing cardiovascular and renal risk. The evolving evidence with GLP-1 RA in this setting has led to important studies and guideline changes, all with significant implications for patient management. This interactive infographic activity will walk you through these updates by using high-impact visuals to summarize the evidence, as well as added expert perspectives.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for US-based healthcare professionals, including primary care clinicians (PCPs), registered nurses, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), endocrinologists, diabetologists, pharmacists, cardiologists, lipidologists, dieticians, and other allied health professionals.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Summarize the mechanisms of action, different properties, as well as efficacy and safety of GLP-1 RAs, alone or in combination, for the management of T2DM.
- Interpret the current evidence from CVOTs and real-world studies with GLP-1 RAs and their practice implications in managing T2DM patients with CVD or at CVD risk.
- Review the recent guideline updates about the individualization of T2DM therapy in patients with existing CVD or CVD risk.
- Develop individualized treatment strategies for patients with T2DM that optimize glycemic control and reduce overall CVD risk.
